As noted earlier, there's a nifty typo WAYYYY at the end of the NYT version of the June subpoena story revealing that outside advisors who were not in Trump's employ[ee] were pushing him to keep the classified documents in his basement.
My favorite bit (bc typos that remain in Big Media docs may represent late edits, & bc NYT should have kept their copy editors): a ref to Trump aides who don't work for him who've convinced him he should violate the Espionage Act.
Makes those surveillance vids more interesting!

And BOTH Kash and Solomon weighed in on what was going on here, with Kash claiming that Trump had insta-declassified everything.

If Donald Trump made TS/SCI documents available to Kash Patel (formerly cleared but under leak investigation since) and John Solomon (tied to the Dmitry Firtash gig), it dramatically changes his OWN exposure.

Thanks, @AdamParkhomenko. The lies from @GOPChairwoman @GOPLeader have inspired armed MAGA supporters to actually threaten my kids. So cut the shit Ronna. You’re going to get people killed.

One more point: For MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS, TV lawyers told me we'd know in real time of DOJ subpoenaed Trump.
That ... turned out to be wrong.

Meanwhile, former cop is being sentenced before Judge Cooper.
Cooper was pretty stressed about this in an early J6 hearing the morning. He already said there will be A LOT of explanation about enhancements.

Kash MIGHT still have clearance (tho he was investigated for a leak last year, possibly to Aaron Maté).
I'm going to bet a fair amount of $$ that John Solomon is not cleared to read even Secret documents.

Here's @woodruffbets's story from--golly, 2 days after MAL got a subpoena for surveillance videos showing who had access to the basement full of stolen documents in the basement!!--showing that Trump gave John Solomon & Kash Patel access to his archives.

If you're going to attribute scoops, attribute them to the right people.
Not least, it proves that all the access you've bought in 5 years won't get you shit when Trump is really trying to hide something.

Reminder: The person who first revealed the search on Mar-a-Lago was not Trump. It was a local reporter named Peter Schorsch.
The person who first reported the June subpoena was not CNN. It was John Solomon (and yes, Trump has given him and Kash Patel access to his archives).

Also, one point of clarification:
Trump has refused to release the search warrant and the 2-page manifest.
What NYT is trying to get unsealed is that, plus the affidavit.

Anyone want to bet whether Kash Patel is one of those people who are not in Trump's employ[ee] but who want him to keep classified information in the basement of his foreign intelligence riddled golf resort?

Note: Poor John Solomon is getting short shrift by the outlets playing catchup. HE claims to know some of what was in the June subpoena.

They named Molly Michaels and Derek Lyons among those who've been interviewed in this investigation.
Lyons wouldn't have recent information. Michaels would.
Why Lyons and not the two Pats, especially Philbin, who was involved in talks w/Archives, I dunno.

Here's NYT matching (in order) John Solomon and CNN.
The've got more specifics on the manifest -- and a pretty nutty style guide for "several."

I wonder if Trump suspects DeSantis knew about the raid.
